    摘要: A method of generating a photolithography patterning device for transferring a pattern formed in the patterning device onto a substrate utilizing a lithographic projection apparatus includes defining features within the pattern formed in the device, wherein the features have dimensions and orientations chosen to create a desired image on the substrate during pattern transfer; and adjusting the dimensions of the features to compensate the desired image for displacement and dimension errors introduced by the effective shadow angle of the radiation on the features during pattern transfer or correlated to the position of the features within the exposure slit during pattern transfer. A measurement device for determining the position of a target image on or proximate a substrate in a lithographic projection apparatus, wherein the target image is formed by features on a patterning device, includes a detector configured to measure the position of the target image on or proximate the substrate, wherein the detector compensates the measured position of the target image for displacement and dimension errors introduced by the effective shadow angle of the radiation on the features of the patterning device during pattern transfer or correlated to the position of the features within the exposure slit during pattern transfer. A lithographic apparatus includes a measurement device.

    摘要: A device manufacturing method includes bringing pressure within a vacuum chamber of a lithographic projection apparatus to a temperature stabilizing pressure range; keeping the pressure within the vacuum chamber within the temperature stabilizing pressure range for a period of time so as to stabilize the temperature in the vacuum chamber; decreasing the pressure within the vacuum chamber to a production pressure range; generating a beam of radiation with a radiation system; patterning the beam of radiation; and projecting the patterned beam of radiation through the vacuum chamber onto a target portion of a layer of radiation-sensitive material on a substrate.

    摘要: A reticle includes an area provided with a conductive metal-based compound coating for electrically grounding the reticle. The reticle is suitable for use with a lithography apparatus whereby the reticle pattern is imaged using extreme ultra violet radiation. One or more conducting pins, held at zero potential, may be pressed against the conductive coating for electrically grounding the reticle either during patterning the reticle by electron beam writing or during use in the lithographic apparatus. The areas coated with the metal-based compounds are wear resistant which reduces the occurrence of particles due to damage caused by mechanical contact between the conducting pins and the conductive coating.
